document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "x ... y
\n" );
document.write( "1 ... 1/3      1/3 = k*1    k = 1/3   
\n" );
document.write( "2 ... 2/3
\n" );
document.write( "3 ... 1
\n" );
document.write( "4 ....4/3      
\n" );
document.write( "A. Would the correlation between x and y in the table above be positive or negative? 
\n" );
document.write( "y = 1/3x Positive correlation
\n" );
document.write( "B. Find the missing value of y in the table. 4/3
\n" );
document.write( "C. How would the values of this table be interpreted in terms of linear regression? 
\n" );
document.write( "values of this table used as ordered pairs(x,y) would be collinear.
\n" );
document.write( "D. If a \"line of best fit\" is placed among these points plotted on a coordinate system, 
\n" );
document.write( "would the slope of this line be positive or negative? positive
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
